When People Aren't Fair...When Law Isn't Just

12/ 09/ 11 Addendum:

Some of us do NOT live where government is godly, where the law is just; some of us do not deal with honorable people in our daily circumstances. When this is the case...

Remember Who Your Enemy Is!

If you are facing a duplicitous co-worker who endeavors to undermine you at every turn in order that he might receive the recognition that you deserve, remember, he is not your enemy.

If you have a spouse who does not understand you, who belittles you rather than lifts you up, remember, he is not your enemy.

If you stand falsely accused, you character is being maligned, your goodness is evil spoken of, remember the false accuser is not your enemy.

If you live in an oppressive regime where you are persecuted for your faith in Jesus Christ, remember, the authorities are not your enemy.

The secret to overcoming ‘the enemy’ is to understand who the enemy is. The duplicitous co-worker, the critical spouse, the false accuser, the oppressive government officials are not your enemy; rather they are all ‘victims’ of the same ‘enemy’ who is oppressing you!

It is the ancient enemy of God who “comes to steal, kill and destroy” John 10:10, and until you recognize him, you cannot defeat him! You cannot overcome his mischief!

Remember the One who goes on to say in that same verse, “…I am come to give life and that more abundantly.”

Employ the power you have as a believer in the ONE who gives you abundant life to crush the enemy under your heel, grind him to fine powder and scatter him impotent to the wind!

In Jesus’ mighty name, we stand together to undo the work of darkness that the enemy of your soul is endeavoring to use to undermine you! In Jesus’ mighty name, we employ the same power that HE used in Luke 11:20 when He said, “I, with the finger of God, cast out evil.” That power resides in you because YOU BELIEVE IN HIM!

We employ the same matchless power that raised Jesus from the dead to move in your circumstances, in your behalf—and to glorify our awesome, almighty God in your circumstances, in you!
